Mekong Review is a quarterly literary journal publishing fiction, essays, reviews and poetry from Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Mekong Review was launched at the Kampot Writers and Readers Festival in Cambodia in November 2015. Our ambition was to publish a magazine that would bring the region’s literary and intellectual life to a broader audience. Today it’s available in bookshops and cafes in the major cities in Southeast Asia and Australia. Mekong Review is an independent publication with no political, institutional or commercial affiliations. We exist solely on the proceeds of sales and subscriptions from readers.
